the D1C Lney DOreQ mole through the
back door few inches below the bar
that fastened the door on the inside. At
this junction they were evidently
frightened away, as they went no
further with their burglarous opera
tons. When Mr.. Peterson, the bar
tender, arrived yesterday morning, the
hole in the door met his eye. Opening
the door, he saw q pile of chips from
the knife of the bit on the step, while
the brace and bit and the two chisels
were lying near by. There was some
$50 left in the till Friday evening No
clue to the would-be burglars.
KNOCKED ON THE HEAD.
Near midnight Friday, Mr.. E. G. Car
ter was passing along the east side of
Young Street from the north when he
was abruptly halted by couple of fell
lows, one of whom ordered him to
throw up his hands.
Instead of complying with their re-
quest Mr.. Carter seemed inclined to in
Vestigate with the idea of forming a
more::close acquaintanceship, when one
of the villains rudely struck him on the
head with a pistol. Carter yelled out
for help and his assaiiants fed taking
a parting shot at him from the distance
of few yards, but fortunately not
striking him. One of the Salvation
Army men who was passing ran to the
assistance of Mr.. Carter. The gentle
man was taken to the Office of DR..
Condor, who dressed the wound made
by the pistol. On Mr.. Carter's head
there were two severe scalp wounds, but
they are not serious.
mt u
individuals who were supposed to be
Mr.. Carriers assailants, were arrested
later in the night, but as they could not
be identified they were released. Again,
yesterday morning, they were taken
into custody, but Mr.. Carter could not
tell whether or not they were his assail-
ants. Afterward it transpired that
lady living near the place had let
couple of fellows out of her gate short
time before the occurrence, and the
officers thought she might furnish some
clue as to whether or not the parties
who were arrested were the right men.
The fellows who fell into the hands of
the police were strangers In the city,
one of them being rather short, heavy
set man, wearing a broad brimmed,
cowboy hat. The police feel almost
certain, from the manner of the men
when placed under arrest, that they
were the ones who committed the afro
city, but, owing to the lack of evidence,
they did not feel justified in holding
them.
Run INTO.
Yesterday morning, Chinaman who
peddles greengroceries was sitting in
his wagon in the road. when white
man drove up and tried to pass. The
mans team SHE'D, and the Chinaman's
wagon was run into and smashed. In
stead of stopping and making the mat
ter right, as be should have done, the
gentleman drove on, and John hunted
up ''pleeceman" to adjust the matter.
The careless driver was found, and
agreed to help the Chinaman repair the
damage.
AGAIN IN COURT.
The police, on Friday night, arrested
old mother Maloney and one Alex.
Strangford, on a charge of lewd con-
conduct. The complaint was filed yes
terdsy afternoon.
To-AoRRow's ELECTION.
Every move made by the Liberal
party in Ogden this year would seem
to indicate knowledge that they are
so far short of votes enough to elect
their candidates that they are in
different as to the result. The gentle
men selected as candidates, the utter
ances of those candidates and the
party leaders, as well as every move
says to the world that the party makes
the fight only because they do not want
their banner to be forgotten. Instead
of the confidence and activity ex-
hibited prior to the city election last
February, we see nothing but apparent |
apathy and indifference. 1t is well |
known that had the city election been |
decided by the number of votes polled |
in Ogden precinct alone, the Liberal
candidates would now be installed in |
the city offices. Since February last |
the number of voters has been largely /
reduced. The ladies have been dis |
franchised and number of the male |
voters have failed to register under the |
new regime. From ordinary logic 1t |
would seem that in Ogden precinct |
there is still a good chance for the /
Liberals to win the day and send their |
to the Legislature and |
elect their justice of the peace. That |
their apparent inactivity means any
thing but still fight we do not believe.
Their party in Ogden is thoroughly or
ganized and they can bring out every
voter at the critical moment, and unless
the Peoples party perform their whole
duty in polling every vote they COM
mand they may get left In the race.
The difference between the respective
is so very wide that they ad-
NIT of no comparison as to quali6oa
tons. No one would think of oOmpar-
irg Mcdaniel with Mr.. Richs rds, nor
Mr.. Haywood with Mr.. Shurtliff. Such
would be as ridiculous a
